TNTiki, I hear ya about collecting, heaven knows I have a ton of Tim Couch rookie cards from when he was the 1st pick of the draft, funny how now he is in Green Bay as a Packer now. There are so many things that are collectible, whether it is a sports team, or a teapot, a ladybugs and teddy bear (by the way anybody into Teddy's, I have a big collection lookin' to get rid of) but I can not see any others that are like Tiki. I mean it is not just the mugs, which come in so many flavors it is amazing, but the actual Tikis by guys like Gecko, Benzart, Basement or art by Flounder, Tiki Tony and Kooch-e-coo, oh and Swamp Fire. And yes even Shag. And the people, tiki people rock! I have never seen such a group of people so dedicated to what they love, turning there homes (AlnShely), their bodies like Kon. But it is also Ohana, it seems like so many share that through here on the TC or where they live, I mean that is why I am trying to throw a party here in Wisconsin, so I can actually meet the people that I talk too, Hukilau can not get here fast enough for me and my wife. So I do not begrudge anybody collecting Tiki based on some trends published in a magazine, because what may happen is that a person will find something they did not know existed and then who knows. Wow that felt like a soapbox moment.

& TG, I still collect comics, waiting for Hawaiian Dick to arrive as I type. 8)
